The global dance icon returns to Dubai.
Dubai’s nightlife continues to raise the bar, and this October, one of the biggest names in electronic music is set to take over the decks. Legendary DJ Carl Cox is making his highly anticipated return to the city, headlining Playa Pacha at FIVE LUXE JBR on Thursday, 17 October 2025.
Known for his infectious energy and genre-defining sets, Carl Cox is a true titan of the EDM world. With a career that kicked off in the 1980s, he’s graced the stages of Burning Man, Glastonbury and Ultra Music Festival, spinning everything from techno and house to full-blown rave anthems. Now, Dubai’s party people can experience his magic live in one of the city’s most iconic beachside venues.
Set against the beautiful backdrop of JBR, Playa Pacha has quickly become an epicentre of Dubai’s high-energy music scene. With three sparkling pools, a beachfront stage, and one of the largest LED screens in the region, the venue blends Ibiza vibes with Dubai glamour. It’s already hosted global acts like Black Coffee, CamelPhat, Solomun, and Rampa, and Carl Cox’s upcoming set promises to be a new highlight.
Expect a full-sensory journey with thumping basslines, hypnotic lights, and a crowd ready to dance from sundown until the early hours. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just love a great night out, this is a performance you won’t want to miss.
Tickets are now available, starting from AED 150 for general admission, with VIP options available from AED 600.
